I didn’t even know I was addicted. Until I tried to stop.
Determine that the thing can and shall be done and then… find the way. – Abraham Lincoln
One drink is too many and a thousands not enough
Addiction is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of unhealed pain and trauma.
Addiction is just a way of trying to get at something else. Something bigger. Call it transcendence if you want, but it’s a f*cked-up way, like a rat in a maze. We all want the same thing. We all have this hole. The thing you want offers relief, but it’s a trap.
It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication, willpower and sacrifice. You will need to push your body to its max. There will be temptation. But I promise, it’s worth it.
The road to recovery from addiction is long and difficult, but it is worth it for the promise of a better life.
We don’t choose to be addicted; what we choose to do is deny our pain.
Addiction is not a weakness, it is a disease that requires compassion and understanding.
Addiction is not something that can be overcome alone, it requires support and community.
Addiction is not a choice, it is a compulsion fueled by a complex set of factors.
The thing about addiction is, it never ends well. Because eventually, whatever it is that was getting us high, stops feeling good, and starts to hurt. Still, they say you don’t kick the habit until you hit rock bottom. But how do you know when you are there? Because no matter how badly a thing is hurting us, sometimes, letting it go hurts even worse.
It is not heroin or cocaine that makes one an addict, it is the need to escape from a harsh reality.
If you know someone who tries to drown their sorrows, you might tell them sorrows know how to swim. – Ann Landers
At the root of all addiction is pain.
There’s not a drug on Earth that can make your life meaningful.
Recovery from addiction is not just about breaking the physical dependence, it’s also about healing the mind and spirit.
Addiction is a family disease. One person may use, but the whole family suffers.
The mentality and behavior of drug addicts and alcoholics is wholly irrational until you understand that they are completely powerless over their addiction and unless they have structured help, they have no hope. – Russell Brand
One step at a time. One day at a time. One hour at a time
